Pitching machines stolen from kids’ baseball league

NORTH EDITION

SOCCER SKILLS

Bloordale Baseball families will need to pay to replace equipment CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com “Why are you stealing from little kids?”

That’s the question Patrick McConnell, president of Bloordale Baseball, would like answered by the thief or thieves who stole not one, but two of the volunteerbased Etobicoke league’s pitching machines over the weekend.

“We just don’t understand.

Why do you need this so badly that you’re going to hurt little kids playing baseball?” he asked of the culprits.

On Wednesday, police at 22 Division confirmed they are currently investigating the thefts, which McConnell said occurred sometime between 9 p.m. last Friday night and 7 a.m. Saturday morning.

The unknown thieves, he said,

broke into two steel storage boxes at two of the half-dozen or so central Etobicoke ball parks the league utilizes and stole a pitching machine from each, as well as a generator – worth an estimated $7,000 combined.

No arrests have yet been made, said Det.-Sgt. Madelaine Tretter.

“They absolutely knew what they wanted and where they were going to get it and how they were going to get it, because they needed the right tools to get into those boxes,” McConnell said of the anti-theft designed storage boxes, declining to name which of Bloordale Baseball’s parks was targeted for fear of retaliation.

“Basically, ($7,000) works out to about 40 of our registration fees... that we now need to divert into replacing these stolen pitching >>>LEAGUE, page 21

Lung cancer diagnosis offered little hope, until now Team of Osler doctors lead new early detection screening program Tamara Shephard tshephard@insidetoronto.com Carmen Tarantini is a fortunate man.

When the fit, healthy 68-year-old began feeling fatigue without cause, he went to see his family doctor, who sent him for tests and referred him to his own thoracic surgeon.

A month later, after multiple low dose chest CT scans and biopsies, William Osler Health System thoracic surgeon Dr. Kashif Irshad delivered the diagnosis to Tarantini and his wife, Anna.

Tarantini had early-stage lung cancer.

Three weeks later, Irshad surgically removed the lower half of Tarantini’s right lung. A biopsy confirmed the cancer was Stage 1B with no lymph node involvement and no need for chemotherapy.

“Quite honestly, they were a helluva good doctor team working together, doing everything from A to Z. Congratulations to Dr. Irshad.

He prepared everything ahead of my surgery,” Tarantini recounted Friday in a meeting room at Brampton Civic Hospital, where he had his life-saving surgery on June 6.

In Canada, lung cancer continues to be the No. 1 cause of cancer death in both men and women, reports Cancer Care Ontario (CCO), the provincial agency responsible for continually improving cancer services.

In fact, the incidence of lung cancer deaths in Canada is greater than deaths from breast cancer, colorectal cancer and prostate cancer combined, CCO reports.

Tarantini is the first patient to undergo early stage lung cancer surgery through William Osler’s new Early Detection of Lung Cancer Program launched in February. Osler is designated as a regional level 1 centre for lung cancer by CCO. Irshad conceived the program to proactively detect lung cancer in its early stages and to treat it before it becomes symptomatic, a new approach that can help greatly increase a patient’s chance of survival, he said.

At present, Irshad sees on average 10 lung cancer patients a week in his practice. In eight of them, the lung cancer is advanced beyond the stage of a surgical cure, he reported.

In Canada, the vast majority of lung cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage, due in part to the lack of effective early detection

Dr. Kashif Irshad sits with Carmine Tarantini, the first patient to undergo lung cancer surgery through a new early detection program at William Osler believed to be the first of its kind in Canada. procedures, Irshad said. When latestage lung cancer is diagnosed, often after the onset of symptoms such as chronic cough, coughing up blood, a hoarse voice or sudden weight loss, surgery is rarely an option. Patients are instead provided palliative chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

“Generally speaking, once lung cancer causes symptoms it’s unresectable (not surgically removable). It’s incurable. That’s why the screening program is important. We’re trying to detect lung cancer before it becomes symptomatic. If you can detect it at that stage, it’s potentially curable with surgery.”

Irshad initiated the program, cofounded with Dr. Marc Ossip, Osler’s site chief of radiology, following a landmark U.S. study of low radiation dose CT scan screening involving more than 53,000 patients at high risk of developing lung cancer.

The National Lung Screening Trial, published in The New England Journal of Medicine a year ago, demonstrated a 20 per cent reduction in deaths among high-risk patients screened with low radiation-dose CT scans when compared to routine chest X-rays.

Osler’s new Early Detection of Lung Cancer Program is led by a team of Osler’s thoracic surgeons, with support from a range of multidisciplinary specialists, including radiologists, respirologists, patholo-

gists, oncologists and a clinical nurse navigator, who processes patients through CT scan and biopsy bookings and documents and communicates the details to the patient’s primary care physician.

“It’s early days. It’s an exciting program. It has the potential to save lives.”

- Dr. Marc Ossip, Osler’s site chief of radiology Eligible patients receive a low dose CT scan, one-tenth the radiation of a full dose chest CT. Any concerning abnormality identified in the early detection CT scan will trigger an immediate referral to the Solitary Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodule or SPIN Clinic, which will assess a patient within two weeks to reduce patient anxiety.

Irshad believes Osler’s SPIN clinic to be the first of its kind in Canada.

Since most lung nodules seen on CT scans are benign, the SPIN clinic ensures patients with benign disease are watched carefully, and those with malignancies are treated appropriately, Irshad said.

People aged 54 to 75, who have a 30

pack-year history of smoking and no previous history of cancer, are eligible to be enrolled in the program. Thirty pack-years refers to the number of packs of cigarettes a person smokes per day multiplied by the number of years they have smoked. Someone who smoked two packs a day for 15 years or one pack a day for 30 years would be a 30 pack-year smoker.

Enrolment in a smoking cessation program is also offered to screeningeligible patients. About 50 per cent enrol in it, Irshad said: “Most patients want to quit smoking, but they can’t.

They need a support system.”

Tarantini had smoked for 50 years until his doctor’s visit April 14. He has since quit smoking.

Patients screened in the program will remain enrolled until age 75. If no abnormality is detected, a patient will undergo a CT scan every two years. If an abnormality is detected, the team will recommend follow-up scans every three or six months, or annually, depending on the case.

The thoracic surgeon has sent an information kit to family physicians in Osler’s catchment areas of Etobicoke, Brampton and Georgetown to inform them of the program. The kit includes a requisition form a doctor may use to enable their eligible high-risk patient to receive a low dose CT scan in the early detection of lung cancer examination.

“You have to get a diagnosis right

away. You don’t know if it’s too late,” Tarantini urged people who could be suitable candidates for the new program.

While Irshad said Tarantini’s fatigue is unrelated to his lung cancer, had the cancer not been detected early, Irshad estimates within one year or less Tarantini would have developed late-stage lung cancer, which would have been inoperable.

“We anticipate a five-year survival of over 80 per cent for (Tarantini), which is very good for lung cancer,” Irshad said.

“Generally speaking, had he waited a year or less, he would have developed Stage 3, probably Stage 4 lung cancer. The five-year survival for that is five per cent. That’s a huge difference.”

The new program will screen 700 high-risk patients a year.

Irshad expects lung cancer to be detected and diagnosed in two highrisk patients per 100 CT scans.

Osler’s new Early Detection of Lung Cancer Screening Program came too late for Irshad’s fatherin-law.

Mushtaq Qureshi died a year ago, nine months after symptoms of a chronic cough, blood-tinged sputum and a 40-pound weight loss led to a chest X-ray that showed lung cancer that had metastasized to his lymph nodes and bones.

“That was one of the reasons why I wanted to pursue this. He would have been a candidate for the screening program. We could have caught that (had the program been running a couple of years ago),” said Irshad, who had considered naming the new program after his late fatherin-law.

Program co-founder Ossip said the SPIN clinic is revolutionary in its early detection of lung cancer.

Previously, there was no set protocol to assess, diagnose and monitor patients at high risk of developing the often-fatal disease, Ossip said.

“It was up to individual GPs (general practitioners) and respirologists with patients who are heavy smokers.

They could send a patient in for a chest CT. Some would, some would not. Some might wait till the onset of symptoms, some might not. There wasn’t a set protocol for CT and when to do it.”

Two months ago, the American Association of Thoracic Surgeons issued a recommendation in favour of early detection lung cancer screening with CT scans.

Ossip called the early detection lung cancer screening trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine “very conservative” and suggested benefits of Osler’s screening program could be even greater than those demonstrated in the trial.

“It’s early days. It’s an exciting program. It has the potential to save lives.”

Bullying legislation causes division opens up old resentments

Better recycling starts at home

H

ow well do you recycle? Do you ensure everything that should go into your green bin makes it in there?

The merits of public and private garbage collection systems in Toronto will continue to be debated. It’s a debate that was renewed last week when the residential portion of the city from Yonge Street to the Humber River officially switched to a private system of collection. This now means about half of the city – west of Yonge – has privatized collection (Etobicoke has had its residential waste collected privately since before amalgamation). The remainder of the city continues to have its residential waste collected by city employ- our view ees.

But let’s think beyond the Sorting helps method of collection. Let’s think about what we, as residents, are improve doing. waste Residents must use this time as an opportunity to embrace better habits of their own when diversion they put out their waste for collection. We must ask ourselves: Are we doing all we can? Doing all we can means ensuring residential waste is properly diverted into garbage, recycling and green bins. This may mean taking a bit of sorting time beforehand. Refer to your waste collection calendar or use the Waste Wizard online tool to get more information if you’re unsure about what goes where. Accessing information is straightforward; it’s not hard.

According to figures from the City of Toronto, our recycling has a 20 per cent contamination rate (referring to items that can’t be recycled). Reducing that number is a meaningful and achievable goal.

Ultimately, waste that’s properly sorted before collection means more efficient collection. That’s ultimately better for the taxpayer. That’s the benefit.

As for the public versus private collection debate, let it continue. Will cost-saving success experienced by this program merit expansion? Will the dire warnings of worsening service be correct? Maybe further adjustments to Toronto’s garbage collection system won’t even be deemed necessary.

Regardless of that outcome, there are manageable tasks we as residents can do now.

The first week wasn’t perfect for the new service provider, as reports of delays surfaced. As much as one would like the smoothest of transitions in a service as important as waste collection, sometimes that’s not always possible – particularly in a large city.

A core component of elected representation is ensuring efficient and effective delivery of services.

Constituents can do their part by ensuring as little of Toronto’s waste as possible goes to landfill.

To the editor: Regarding safe and accepting school legislation from the provincial government.

It is baffling how a universally supported sentiment – reducing bullying – has gone so wrong.

First it seems un-Canadian. Our internationally emulated hero, Terry Fox, fought for all cancer victims, not just his type with the Marathon of Hope. Rick Hansen fought for all disabled people, not just his own, with Man in Motion.

The legislation is also baffling because it has unnecessarily alienated supporters of both Catholic education and faith, which oppose all bullying. This legislation, with one small addition, has divided and opened up old resentments.

The headlines are about Catholics rather than the kids – children who are bullied for their personal traits such as size, awkwardness, intelligence, appearance or for their group identity.

The late Prof. Pat Duffy Hutcheon wrote this impressive statement about the hijacking of the notion of equal opportunity: “The transformation of an idea for social reform based on the premise of equality of opportunity for individuals regardless of biological inheritance or ancestral history into its precise opposite: the idea of equality of results for ethnic groups, at the price of sacrificing hard-won individual rights.”

She reminded us the goal was justice and equal opportunity for all individuals.

She reminded us of Martin Luther King’s dream – to be judged by the content of our character, not our group identity. Many advocates are twisting that dream, by asking for preferential treatment because of group identity – the very source of injustice.

Olympic sprinter reaches out to fans via social media CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Etobicoke sprinter Gavin Smellie reached out to his fans on Facebook this week in the wake of his team’s disqualification from Saturday’s Olympic 4x100-metre relay finals – and resulting loss of a bronze medal – to give thanks.

“Just want to thank all my families, friends and everyone on facebook for all your support...” the 26-year-old Jamaican native wrote on Monday. “Been a struggle the last 48hrs but my head is slowly rising back up...thanks again.”

While his Facebook profile photo depicts the low-hanging head of a man defeated, scores of fans from all over Canada have showered the Western Kentucky University grad and his teammates Oluseyi Smith, Justyn Warner and Jared Connaughton with love and support this week.

Canada's Gavin Smellie runs the first leg of the men's 4 x 100m relay at the 2012 London Olympics.

Running out of lane five come the finals last Saturday, the Canadian team put in a stellar performance with a time of 38.07 seconds. When the scoreboard flashed at the end of the race, it showed that the Canadians trailed only Usain Bolt’s world-recordingsetting Jamaican team and the United States for a third place finish. For nearly a full 10 minutes, Smellie and his teammates celebrated their

bronze-medal performance.

Then the scoreboard flashed again – this time, it showed the Canadians had been disqualified.

Playbacks showed that Connaughton, running the third leg of the race, stepped on the line separating the lanes while taking a turn.

The team was disqualified, and clearly left devastated by the news.

“I’m so sorry everyone.

My heart is broken. I let my team down. I’m sorry,” Connaughton tweeted shortly after the results were made official.

Images of Smellie and his tear-streaked teammates were broadcast all over the world, moving Canadian fans – and fellow Olympians – to Twitter action.

“Classiest bunch of guys in Canada,” tweeted Olympic hammer thrower James Steacy. “So proud of each of you! Hold your heads up! #team”

Humber Bridge sculptures take on monstrous proportions LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Size does matter as far as a group of artists who have created two giant illuminated, sculptured creatures that will hang from the Humber Bridge is concerned.

“Go big or go home,” said one of the artists, Stacey Feldman, on Monday – three days before the sculptures were to be unveiled from the pedestrian bridge. “We love to do large-scale art; engaging pieces

that people can enjoy.”

The Toronto-based group that includes as many as 25 people for the Humber installation is inspired by such artists as California’s The Flaming Lotus Girls, a volunteer group that creates monumental works of interactive, mechanical fire art.

In fact, the Humber bridge project is one of the few that doesn’t include fire. Instead, the 20-feet, 600-pound creatures will be lit up by 1,200 LED lights, which will be

individually programmed. During the day, the creatures will have a glass-like appearance.

At night the creatures will seem to communicate with each other and their surroundings using bioluminescence, said Feldman.

Early discussions for the fiberglass creature art installation began about a year ago. Artists started physically building them in April and May of this year. The challenge, said Feldman, was to work together to commit to completing the project.

“We have a bigger purpose in mind and that is to get the community involved, to put a smile on people’s faces. It warms our hearts to share (the project),” said the theatre school and visual arts graduate.

The Humber Bridge will be transformed into a monumental light sculpture, which will remain lit up nightly until Sept. 28. A special gala event will take place tonight on the bridge for financial donors, the media and the public to mark the unveiling.

The evening’s white party includes

aerialists and fire performers beginning at 8:30 p.m.

Toronto’s interactive arts collective is the same team of innovative artists who can take credit for the acclaimed Heart Machine installation, which was part of Nuit Blanche 2011.

The two creatures as well as the art installation project has yet to be named. The group is soliciting ideas from the public. To make a suggestion, visit http://interactivearts.co/ namethesculpture

Stream Restoration to Protect Infrastructure (West Humber River/ West Don River) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Notice of Study Commencement and Invitation for Public Input The City ofToronto has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study to identify preferred methods for channel restoration where sanitary infrastructure is in direct contact with a watercourse and has created risks to the environment and public health & safety.The study focuses on two locations - one on the West Humber River and the other on the West Don River (see maps right).

SUMMER

KIDZ PROGRAM

Toronto athletes compete in the Ontario Summer Games Toronto athletes are competing in their own backyards at the Ontario Summer Games Aug. 16 to 19.

The opening ceremony of the biannual Olympic-style competition, which features 23 sports at venues across Toronto and surrounding regions, is at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16 at Varsity Stadium.

About 2,500 athletes from across the province will be competing in sports from rugby and sailing to fencing and softball. Eighteen sports are being held at 19 venues across Toronto. Canoe/kayak is being held in Welland, cycling will take place in Albion Hills, skeet shooting is being held in Oshawa, sporting rifle will take place in St. Catharines and the triathlon is in Brampton.

The Games are seen as a gateway to further national and international competition, acting as qualifiers for most of the sports featured during the event, said Crystal Peiris, a games con-

sultant with Sport Alliance of Ontario, the organization in charge of running the Summer Games for the provincial government.

“The Ontario Games are a stepping stone for athletes to competitions like the nationals and the Canada Games, for example,” Peiris said.

The Games play a vital role in the long-term development of Ontario’s sports organizations and foster “unmatched” life skills and values that an athlete wouldn’t necessarily pick up in a classroom, Peiris said.

Blair McIntosh, a former director of Games for Sport Alliance of Ontario and the director of sport for the 2015 Pan American Games, said the provincial Games teach “discipline, socialization, diversity, acknowledgment...it changes an athlete’s life.”

“We have seen many of our athletes go from playground to (Olympic) podium and then go on after their athletic

in support of the Fare Fight For Food

careers to accomplish great achievements in life,” said McIntosh, who has 28 years of amateur sport and multisport games experience.

CHEVROLET VOLT Could I live with the car on a daily basis?

That was the key question I had before a recent weeklong road test of the 2012 Chevrolet Volt, a car that Chevrolet touts as a “breakthrough” and a “gamechanger” in the automotive world.

People I ran into think of the Volt as purely an electric car and are surprised when I tell them it also has a gasoline engine to generate power.

I explain that the Volt is an “extended range” car that melds together features of both gas-electric hybrids and allelectric vehicles.

It is similar to an electric car in that it has a l6 kWh lithium-ion battery that can be recharged in 10 hours when plugged into a normal 120-volt household outlet.

Special charging stations using 240volt outlets are available for installation in household garages and they cut charge times to four hours.

On a complete charge, the Volt will have a range of up to 80 km in allelectric mode. Unlike gas-electric hybrids, the gasoline engine doesn’t kick in when the vehicle exceeds a certain speed the car runs solely on battery power at any speed until the battery charge is depleted.

I recharged the battery several times during the test period and was able to get 62 km on average in electric mode during extremely hot mid-July weather.

When battery power is depleted, a 1.4-litre gasoline engine kicks in. It operates a generator to create more battery juice, which in turn will give the Volt a driving range of another 500-plus km. Thus, unlike a full electric car, the fear of running out of battery power (range anxiety as it is called) is eliminated in the Volt.

The heart of the car is Chevrolet’s Voltec system, which transforms energy stored in the battery into mechanical force.

It uses two drive motors, a gasoline-powered engine generator, three clutches and a planetary gear set. Regenerative braking in the Volt also cap-

(416) 521-7000 WWW.THORNCREST.COM

The 2012 Chevrolet Volt -the world’s first electric vehicle with extended range - can drive between up to 80 kilometres on electric power alone and then keep going, thanks to the 1.4L gasoline-powered on-board generator.

tures energy that otherwise would be lost as the car slows down and stops.

So, how does the Volt work in the real world?

I could easily live with the Volt thanks to its extended-range capabilities. Even with several lengthy commutes, I was able to average between 5.5 and 6.0L/100 km during my week with the car in mostly high-speed highway driving.

The Volt is a good-looking vehicle, sleek and aerodynamic allowing it to slice through the air as efficiently as possible. With 273 lb/ft of instantaneous torque it gets up to speed in a hurry, covering 0-96 km/h in less than nine seconds.

This is no slug like some green cars with a top speed of 160 km/h. You have the option of selecting one of Normal, Sport or Mountain drive modes.

Inside, the Volt has a modernistic look. There is seating for four with lim-

ited legroom in the rear, meaning two adults and with two younger children would find this an acceptable family vehicle. Cargo capacity is a decent 300 litres (10.6 cu ft).

It is extremely quiet inside; like hybrids when they are in electric mode, you don’t even know the car is running.

The T-shaped battery system runs between the front seats with top of the T situated in front of the rear bucket seats.

Instrumentation is high-tech indeed with a two interactive LCD screens loaded with information. In front of the driver is a reconfigurable digital screen that displays everything from range to driving efficiency and driving mode.

Both are 178 mm (7 in) touch-screen displays that give real-time information and even allow the driver to program battery charging to take advantage of off-peak utility rates.

The Volt is priced at $41,545, but mine had options that took the as tested price

to $44,135 plus $1,450 for destination charges.

Ontario residents are eligible for an $8,230 government rebate and in Quebec, the rebate is $7,769.

For those worrying about battery life, the Voltec system comes with a warranty of eight years or 160,000 km. GM executives have told me they expect the battery to last a lot longer than the warranty period.

So is the Volt a “game-changer” as Chevrolet suggests.

It definitely is innovative and perhaps the best “green” car on the market.

The extended range capability makes it an everyday vehicle, unlike others in its segment that leave drivers with the dreaded range anxiety.

In answer to my opening question, the Volt definitely is a car I could live with on a daily basis.

Mazda3 Sport saves fuel with Skyactiv technology Four doors have always been a design challenge for automakers.

Mazda doesn’t offer a two-door model in its popular Mazda3 lineup - and that’s fine with me. Designers nailed it the first time when they launched this replacement for the tired Protege in the 2004 model year.

And after a redesign in 2010 and some fine-tuning this year, the Mazda3 - both in sedan and hatchback formsis one of the most attractive cars in the n AT A GLANCE: BODY STYLE: compact five-door sport hatchbac.

DRIVE METHOD: front-engine, front wheel drive ENGINE: SKYACTIV-G 2.0-litre, 16-valve, DOHC four cylinder (155 hp and 148 lb/ft of torque) FUEL ECONOMY: 7.7/5.0 litres/100 km (city/ hwy ≠manual); 7.1/4.9 litres/100 km (city/ hwy ≠automatic) CARGO CAPACITY: 481 litres behind second row, 1,212 litres with seats folded WEB SITE: www.mazda.ca

compact segment.

My tester for the week, in a striking shade of sky blue mica, was the Mazda3 Sport GS SKY, which in Mazdaspeak means hatchback with the new fuelsaving Skyactiv technologies.

Skyactiv isn’t about electric and hybrid systems, but involves improving the kind of vehicles most of us drive.

This includes their body architecture, chassis, transmission - and the internal combustion engine.

Yes folks, that means gas and diesel.

Even if the most optimistic prediction that 12 per cent of all passenger cars here will be battery-powered by 2020, the vast majority will still be making regular visits to the fuel pump.

This presents a welcome challenge to engineers, as today’s engines, despite being exponentially cleaner and more efficient than a few short decades ago, still only harness 10 to 30 percent of our fuel’s available energy. That leaves a lot of room for improvement, and an opportunity to exploit.

The company wisely chose to apply this new tech to the Mazda3, as it’s their top-seller worldwide and accounts for nearly half of all Mazda sales in Canada and the U.S.

Skyactiv is available in GS trim, which falls between the base GX (starting MSRP $16,895) and top trim GT (starting MSRP $24,845), and adds only $850 to the regular 2.0-litre GS models for a starting list of $20,345 with six-speed manual.

For starters, the all-new, direct-injection Skyactiv-G 2.0-litre gas engine delivers more power (155 vs 148 hp) and greater torque (148 vs 135 lb/ft) than the standard 2.0-litre engine. Better fuel economy too, thanks in large part to the substantially higher compression ratio of 12:1 versus 10:1.

The point of higher compression is to extract more energy from the same amount of fuel, which, thankfully here, is regular 87 octane.

But like any good thing, there are limits, and with compression that’s around 11:1 before knock sets in. Mazda has overcome this with some finessing of components.

An example is putting a small dip in the top of each piston to stabilize combustion. Looks a bit like a volcano, as the tops are also dome-shaped to increase compression.

Skyactiv also uses extremely high fuel pressure through its six-hole injec-

The Mazda3 GS Tlineup offers a variety of engines, including a 2.0-litre four cylinder incorporating the company’s fuel-saving Skyactiv technologies, as tested.

tor to more quickly deliver the air/fuel mix, and with better vaporization and cooling.

Although there’s far more to Skyactiv, suffice to say these changes result in a thriftier engine - in particular with the six-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic.

This power combination is rated at 7.1/4.9 litres/100 km (city/hwy) compared to 8.7/6.0 for the regular 2.0-litre engine.

Inside, the Mazda3 is well put together. Abundant soft touch materials, chrome and silver finishes, and fabric inserts in the doors create a smart, modern look.

Seats are upholstered in a grippy

fabric combination, with checked inserts and pronounced side bolsters.

Five-position seat heating comes standard for both front seats.

Seats in back are raised for better visibility, both forward and to the side, where the high beltline creates a narrow side window.

My take on the Mazda3 remains that the company has done so many little things so well.

Skyactiv is the latest of these, and without adding significant cost, it has given buyers yet another reason to consider this popular family car.

LEXUS REVEALS THE NEW LS Lexus has revealed its new LS model range, comprising the LS 460, LS 600h and, for the first time in its history, an F Sport version of its flagship model.

The most obvious changes are to the exterior styling, where the new LS adopts the distinctive Lexus spindle front grille design, but the development of the model goes much deeper to include improved driving dynamics, better sound insulation and more sophisticated and effective preventive safety systems.

In all more than 3,000 changes have been made to the current LS, including three world-firsts and 15 “Lexusfirst� features and technologies.

The LS’s exterior has undergone a comprehensive redesign. In a first for Lexus, all lights - headlights, rear lamps and fog lights - are available with LED technology. The new shape vertical fog lights include new Lshaped, seamless light tube daytime running lights.

Driving dynamics It has also developed the LS’s Adaptive Variable Suspension with a new four-wheel interlock control, which suppresses roll, pitch and heave vibration at all four wheels

Historic Audi returns Audi has managed to repurchase an extremely rare Auto Union Silver Arrow racing car - consisting largely of original parts.

Lexus has shown the next generation LS sedan, its flagship model. Most notable exterior change is the adoption of the spindle grille design cue.

simultaneously. Damping response has been made smoother and more highly controlled to give a flatter, road-hugging ride.

The new LS gains another Lexus first in the form of its Drive Mode Select, offering five switchable driving

modes: Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport S and Sport S+. These provide easy adjustment of vehicle systems to help deliver the driver’s preferred balance of economy, comfort, performance and handling characteristics.

It is the Auto Union twin-supercharger Type D dating from 1939, and is one of the two legendary Karassik cars. AUDI AG now owns three of the five Auto Union racing cars.

The 16-cylinder and 12-cylinder racing cars from Zwickau and Stuttgart captured many titles. The Second World War put an abrupt end to what was known as the supercharger era. Mercedes-Benz was able to rescue almost all its Silver Arrow cars after Germany’s collapse, but fate was less kind to Auto Union. The Soviet Army occupied Zwickau, Auto Union was liquidated and the factories shut down.

The Russian occupying forces found the

Silver Arrows where they had been stored: in a mine building above ground. The cars were carried off to the Soviet Union as part of Germany’s reparation payments, and all trace of them was lost in that vast country.

The vehicles best able to pay tribute to Auto Union AG’s great motor sport heritage were regarded as irrecoverably lost by the new Auto Union GmbH. Purchase of the Type D twin-supercharger car means that AUDI AG now owns all three Auto Union racing cars recovered from what was formerly the USSR. After 67 years, the latest home comer will form part of an impressive ensemble together with the Auto Union Type D racing cars first seen in 1994.

Create a clean and healthy environment inside the car Over the last several years, homeowners have increasingly emphasized clean air in their homes.

The growing popularity of home air purifiers suggests today's homeowners want to make certain the environment inside their home is as healthy as possible.

While protecting the environment in a home is important, it's equally as important for motorists to maintain a healthy environment in their vehicles. On average we spend roughly 10 to 15 hours per week inside a car, where dust, odors, smoke and other potentially sour smells can make riding in a car rather unpleasant. In addition, air pollution and allergens inside a vehicle can pose a significant health risk to drivers and their passengers. Fortunately, there are several steps drivers can take to maintain a healthy environment inside their vehicle.

Improve air quality Perhaps the best way drivers can ensure their passengers have a healthy environment while traveling in a car is to improve the air quality within the vehicle. An automotive clean air system can quickly and effectively purifies the air inside a vehicle by eliminating harmful gases, dust, pollen, smoke, odors, and bacteria. These systems can be easily placed beneath a seat, in the rear of the vehicle or on a seatback, captures big particles, such as human hair and pet hair

Clean the vehicle's interior Many automobile owners pay particular attention to the appearance of their vehicle's exterior.

However, those same drivers don't spend nearly as much time, if any, tending to the vehicle's interior. But a neglected interior doesn't just fall victim to spills and dirt or other particles brought in from the outside. Over time, a neglected interior might begin to grow mildew, which is both unhealthy and unpleasant. In general, clean the vehicle's interior once a month to prevent mildew growth and the buildup of dirt and grime.

Don't fall in love with the "new car smell" Few consumers can resist the famed "new car smell." Though enticing, the new car smell is actually an outgassing of toxic chemicals from newly formed plastics, and the chemicals in these gases have been linked to birth defects, impaired learning, liver toxicity, premature births, and early puberty in laboratory animals. Though this doesn't mean consumers should avoid buying new cars, it should inspire consumers to address the new car smell immediately. An automobile interior filter easily and effectively remove the harmful gases that stem from the new car smell, while continuously removing additional odors as the car ages.

seats Carpets and seating are another collection point for dirt and pollutants and need to be vacuumed thoroughly. Make sure to get the floor mats, the floor under the floor mats and all the way under the seats. Pound your seats with something large like a baseball bat to loosen and knock out all the dirt and soil that has settled into the creases and stitching.

Protect newer vehicles on hot days Hot weather can take its toll on drivers, and it

can also wreak havoc on their vehicle's interior. Heat from the sun can cause the vehicle's plastics, vinyl or leather parts to emit volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, which can produce both short-term and long-term adverse health effects. Whenever possible, park in the shade or use a sun shade on the windshield. In addition, slightly opening the windows in spring and summer promotes air flow through the cabin, helping reduce the risk of VOC buildup inside the vehicle.

Are you a distracted driver?

Most Canadians are pretty confident behind the wheel, but when it comes to keeping their eyes on the road not all drivers stick to the road rules. According to a recent survey by TD Insurance, the majority of Canadians (60%) consider themselves to be better drivers than those they share the road with, yet over one-quarter of Canadians admit to engaging in risky behaviours while driving, including, listening to loud music (28%), looking down at a map (26%), driving while excessively tired (26%) and scrounging for items in the glove compartment or a purse/bag (24%).

Car accidents happen every day, and while you may be confident in your driving abilities, it's important to always be on top of your game when you're behind the wheel to stay safe and avoid unwanted insurance claims down the road.

Here are some top tips for staying safe on the roads: • Know the rules of the road – If it's been a while since your last driving test, take the time to re-educate yourself – especially when travelling because rules often differ between provinces. For example, speed limits in urban areas are generally lower than those through rural regions. • Pay attention – Don't text, eat, or

IntelliLink In-Car Connectivity Available on all 2013 Buicks

Don’t text, eat or put on makeup while driving no matter how confident you are behind the wheel.

put on makeup while you are driving.

If you're driving in conditions with low visibility, like at night or in heavy rain or fog, slow down and keep more distance between you and the car in front of you. • Don't miss your annual checkups – Take your car in to be serviced

to ensure things like the battery, lights and brakes are functioning well. Accidents happen, but there's no need for surprises. Speak to your insurer to review your auto insurance policy too, to make sure you have the right coverage.

Buick will make its IntelliLink in-car connectivity available on every 2013 model year vehicle.

And the brand will help owners get acquainted with the advanced technology with real-time over-the-air help.

Designed to be used with two hands on the wheel as often as possible, IntelliLink’s layout was created with an emphasis on minimizing distractions. New features for 2013 integrate more functionality into the system’s voice control commands.

The“More like this�feature uses Gracenote media database technology to identify artist and song titles. For 2013, Gracenote’s album cover art display capability expands to include genre and artist art.

To speed the use of IntelliLink and keep the driver’s eyes on the road, a new “Quick

Info� icon allows access to popular features, audio info and turn-by-turn navigation.

An added “Transfer to Private� icon allows a Bluetooth-paired phone call to be moved off the vehicle’s speakerphone.

In addition to upcoming in-car updates, Buick has created a support network for customers who need help familiarizing themselves with new IntelliLink technology.

Based in Oshawa, Ontario the Customer Care Centre Infotainment Customer Support Team will provide one-on-one guidance for owners.

Dedicated specialists at CCC will be trained to provide customers the quick and thorough support they need. New 2013 Buick models will begin arriving at dealerships later this year.

League looking for donations >>>from page 1 machines. So, 40 families are going to pay money directly to replace this equipment – and that’s wrong.”

Establish ed in 1 963, Bloordale Baseball currently boasts a roster of more than 300 youngsters playing at all skill levels and divisions.

Of those 300 players, McConnell said about 200 will be directly impacted by the theft of the pitching machines, which were used by the league’s eight- and nine-year-old Rookieball players during games, as well as for batting practice at all levels.

“We use the pitching machine because that gives the ball a consistent throw for when the kids are learning how to swing a bat at a moving target,” he explained, noting that the timing couldn’t be worse, with the league currently heading into playoff season.

“Now, (with two less machines) we’re going to have to make due with what we’ve got, which is less than an ideal situation. Those

Patrick McConnell, president of Bloordale Baseball, is ticked off after baseball equipment was stolen from the security storage boxes belonging to the club.

pitching machines are heavy, so moving them around is going to be tough for our volunteers...we’re going to have to go buy all this equipment and we’re not in a position to go do that.”

While McConnell – who is one of this year’s recipients of

an Urban Hero Award – said there’s no hope of recovering the stolen equipment, he’s left scratching his head as to why the thieves would want to steal such specialized machines.

“It’s n o t l i k e t h e re’s a demand for pitching machines on the open market right now. The only people that use them are baseball leagues, so why would you go and steal a pitching machine?” he said.

While the league hasn’t yet discussed any plans to recoup their losses from the theft, McConnell said the league would “certainly not say no” to anyone in the community who might like to step forward to help them out.

“We replace equipment all the time, but this is major capital,” he said. “It’s not like you’re buying some shin guards for a house league or a few bats or baseballs – this is a major purchase.”

Anyone wishing to donate is asked to contact McConnell at president@bloordalebaseball.com
